Garbage Smoothie

May 9, 2011

After an extremely exhausting semester, I’m finally home for the summer.  I get to “relax” a bit for a few weeks before Alex and I move into our new apartment.  In the meantime, I’m doing lots of baking to prepare for my sister’s bridal shower that I’m having for her in two weeks.  I started today with two different batches of cookies..I’m excited to share them in due time!

I’ve still been doing Insanity (which is getting crazier and crazier as the weeks go on), and today’s workout was an hour and a half, with the fit test and then the max interval circuit.  I was dying.  So of course, I was starving after.  I always have some greek yogurt mixed with flax seeds, nuts (or nut butter) and berries, but there was no way that’d be enough today, so I made a smoothie too.  I combined pretty much any fruit I found in the fridge…it was delicious.

4 large strawberries
